What does 35 years at the heart of the UK water sector actually teach you? In this episode, Alastair Clifford-Jones sits down with Piers Clark β€” former Asset Director and Commercial Director at Thames Water, co-founder of Isle Utilities, and one of the most candid voices in the water and environment sector β€” for a conversation that covers privatisation, climate, regulation, and the moment he put shellfish inside a sewage works. Piers pulls no punches: water is underpriced, regulators have been asking the wrong questions for decades, and the companies that embrace the climate crisis β€” not deny it β€” will be the ones that lead commercially. He also shares why leaving Blackstone at 45 was the best decision of his career, how Isle grew from a one-man band into a global water consultancy, and why human greed might actually be the best tool we have for solving the climate emergency. If you work in utilities, field service, infrastructure, or environmental consulting, this is essential listening. In this episode, you'll discover: * How Piers went from engineering PhD to Asset Director at Thames Water β€” and why a failed MBO at Mouchel changed everything * Why he left Blackstone after just months β€” and what that wake-up moment at 45 taught him about playing to your strengths * How Isle Utilities grew from a one-man consultancy into a global water sector specialist β€” and what the name really means * Why water companies are full of people who care deeply β€” even if the structure around them is broken * The real environmental price of water: why Β£1/day is "preposterous" and what we should actually be paying * Why privatisation of water was the wrong model β€” and why profit has no place alongside water, health, or education * The UK's three water regulators explained β€” and why they were given the wrong exam question from the start * Why bold long-term thinking is being killed by short-term political cycles β€” and what real infrastructure leadership looks like *The shellfish story: how Piers pitched bringing shellfish inside a wastewater treatment plant on April 1st β€” and got it approved * Why solving the climate crisis is "easily within our grasp" β€” and why monetising it is the only path that actually works at scale * The Executive Exchange podcast: 80+ conversations with water utility leaders from Ukraine to Las Vegas to Colombia 0:00 - Introduction 0:16 - Piers Clark's Background: Scientist, Engineer, 35 Years in Water 1:30 - Thames Water: Asset Director to Commercial Director 1:45 - The Blackstone Wake-Up Moment at 45 2:37 - Founding Isle Utilities β€” and What the Name Really Means 3:35 - The Failed MBO at Mouchel That Started It All 4:22 - How Isle Grew Into a Global Water Consultancy 5:30 - Why Water Company People Care β€” Even If the Sector Is Broken 6:51 - Privatisation: Was It the Right Decision? 7:08 - Why Water Is Essential in a Way Telecoms Simply Isn't 9:00 - What's the Solution?
